When I write a paper check, I put the payee's name and
associate information in the "Description" and "Notes" field. But, when
I import transactions from my credit union (usually with QFX) prior to
reconciling, the data I entered is overwritten with "PAID CHECK
0000XXXX" and "OFX ext. info: |Trans type:Check|Memo:Paid Check
000000XXXX", which is sorta less than helpful when I'm attempting to
identify transactions later.…
I'm concerned, though, because I'm wanting to implement GnuCash for our
church's bookkeeping. I haven't yet tried downloading from our church's
bank, but …if it overwrites information, especially deposit information
which we will use to keep track of offerings and contributions, it could
be a disaster. Is there any way of still downloading to match and clear
transactions, but to keep the download from overwriting manually entered
data?
I am bothered by the same Gnucash behaviour. I don't see how to change
it via user settings. I just filed a Gnucash issue ticket about it:
Bug 797678 <https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797678> - OFX
importer should supplement, not replace, existing Notes (and Description
and Memo) fields
I will add a summary of your comments, and a link to this thread, to
that bug report. You are welcome to add comments there and/or subscribe

If the GnuCash bug tracker is new to you, then
<https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Bugzilla> is one introduction.
